Part Time Teacher of English job summary
This is a vacancy for a part time teacher of English (approximately 0.75FTE) for a temporary appointment of up to 12 months covering maternity leave expected to start towards the end of February 2021. There is a strong possibility that a permanent position will become available by the end of the contract. The current timetable is spread over Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of each week with Tuesday as a non working day, however we anticipate there may be some flexibility to vary this.
The English Department, one of the largest in the school, is extremely successful. Teaching staff are very friendly, supportive of each other, professional and highly qualified. It is housed in a suite of eleven rooms, all of which are in close proximity. There is a head of department’s office, a departmental work room, and a well-resourced stock room and book store. One room is equipped with computers and has access to the school’s network in order to accommodate teaching of media at A level. Each teaching room has access to its own range of multi-media hardware.
Year 7 is taught in mixed ability tutor groups. There is an increasing degree of fine tuning as students move from year 8 to 11, with some provision for the most able students as well as those who need additional support in their work.
At GCSE, students follow the AQA syllabus for English Language and all students are also entered for AQA English Literature. For A level, we follow the AQA English Literature syllabus, specification B. Both the GCSE and the level courses demand great commitment from staff and depend for their success on high levels of leadership and efficient organisation. Colleagues are encouraged to develop and share resources.
There is an emphasis on developing extra-curricular activities in areas such as creative writing and reading and we work closely with the school library wherever possible.
We are seeking people who have the ability to help us maintain our very strong examination results.
Commitment to safeguarding
Our school is committed to the safeguarding of children so all appointments are subject to a satisfactory enhanced DBS check. Only applications made on our School Application Form will be considered; we do not accept CVs or unsolicited testimonials. It is our policy always to request references prior to interview.
